Benefits of technology

[0060] If the user 14 has any further questions or concerns about the solution specified by the invention, the user 14 can contact a design engineer or other professional through an optional addition to the invention. One advantage of the present invention is that it can work with the consulting firms in arriving at a solution. Various icons can be accessed leading to specialists (for example, links to the specialists' websites) or question forms can be accessed allowing the user 14 to submit questions to be answered at some time in the future. For a second party service model, all icons and question forms could lead to the second party service provider, who would have the expertise in-house (or would have the ability to obtain the expertise) and would respond to the queries. For an in-house service model, the icons and question forms could contact various people in the user's own organization for answers. In both service models, the icons and question forms could lead to third party experts, professionals, and companies.

Problems solved by technology

However, the use of artificial intelligence to automate, enhance, economize, and expedite the design process is not known in the art.
Moreover, the user can ask questions of consulting or design engineering experts that cannot be answered by the automated web site.
There currently is commercially available artificial intelligence software to conduct these basic steps, but his software has not been applied to the engineering and design and process manufacturing fields.
For example, greater cost and profit margins can result if part or the entire product or process were developed in a non-US country at a fraction of comparable US costs if there is a favorable currency exchange rate or if labor costs are less in the non-US country.

Example 2-Processes

[0068] These examples are intended to show that the present invention can reduce inefficiencies in fields, such as electroplating, and that the present invention is distinct from the prior methods for design engineers and manufacturing consultants.

[0069] Chemical and process plants are operated and controlled by a variety of control systems that are normally programmed on the basis of certain process parameters. In spite of the control systems, there are numerous scenarios where they are not effective in averting a production loss or an accident. The present invention combines existing control system algorithms along with other scenarios from various knowledge bases, such as hazardous operations (HAZOP), HAZAN, fault-tree analysis and the knowledge base of the operations and design personnel, on a single platform. Although the present invention does not eliminate the need of the operations and design personnel; it increases their productivity, efficiency, and effi...

example 3-process manufacturing

[0075] This example is intended to show that the present invention can be used to assist persons in an industry not entirely familiar with the process and can be applied in a manner that can allow persons less familiar with the project to solve problems and develop solutions.

[0076] A combustion furnace fired by a gaseous fuel, which is atomized by primary compressed air and secondary air, is common in many industries. If problems with the furnace occur, e.g. the temperature within the furnace is dropping, the furnace operators may not be experienced enough to circumvent problems. Normally, the operator would be forced to contact a design engineer or a more experienced person in the facility to get an answer, which wastes time and resources. Alternatively, the operator may attempt to solve the problem independently by increasing the fuel, air, etc to boost the temperature. However, the problem may be somewhere else, and this could lead to a runaway reaction / process, and cause a catas...

Example 4-Troubleshooting

[0079] One important advantage of the present invention is that it is capable of detecting operational and production problems, sorting all possible causes, and suggesting and implementing remedial solutions in a manner that is captured and shared easily with others. In case of process failures or emergencies, the invention can enable an operator, who may not be a familiar with the process, to quickly respond and implement remedies that have been captured on the database. This would significantly reduce operational downtime and increase productivity and yield. These solutions would result in a significant reduction in labor and overhead (consulting) costs and in a reduction of duplicative costs. More importantly, the information captured in the event the person who solved a prior problem is unavailable when a similar problem arises in the future. This also would enable one operator to operate more than one process line / shift thereby saving costs.

Abstract

An automated artificial intelligence method and system for the design and implementation of engineering and manufacturing design services.

Description

[0001] 1. Technical Field[0002] The present invention generally relates to the field of manufacturing / engineering intelligence and expert system-neural network / expert system technology for use in manufacturing and design & engineering (D&E) applications and to the field of methods and systems for providing and implementing professional solutions. The present invention more specifically relates to the field of applying sophisticated algorithms and interview technologies to allow the user to conceive and design products and processes and to the field of methods and systems for providing and implementing engineering, manufacturing, design and consulting solutions that are electronic commerce artificial intelligence-based, neural network-based, expert system based and vertically integrated from concept to completion.[0003] 2. Prior Art[0004] There are many problems with current methodologies in manufacturing intelligence. Manufacturing intelligence (MI) is too diffused across an enterpr...
